Swarm Orchestration

Overview

Form and coordinate multi-agent swarms with topology-aware deployment. Supports Mesh, Hierarchical, Ring, and Star topologies with automatic selection based on task complexity and agent count.

When to Use

  • Complex tasks requiring multiple specialized agents
  • Tasks needing coordinated parallel execution
  • When consensus among agents is required for quality
  • Projects requiring anti-drift enforcement during execution

Process

  1. Topology Selection - Analyze task and agent pool to select optimal topology
  2. Agent Assignment - Assign Queen (Strategic/Tactical/Adaptive) and Worker roles
  3. Consensus Init - Initialize Raft/Byzantine/Gossip/CRDT protocol
  4. Parallel Execution - Distribute subtasks with shared memory
  5. Anti-Drift Checkpoints - Validate alignment every N subtasks
  6. Consensus Voting - Weighted voting (Queen=3x) for final decision

Topologies

  • Mesh: All-to-all communication, best for small swarms (<8 agents)
  • Hierarchical: Queen coordinates workers, best for large/structured tasks
  • Ring: Sequential handoff, best for pipeline/transformation tasks
  • Star: Central coordinator fan-out, best for independent subtasks

Agents Used

  • agents/strategic-queen/
    - Long-term planning swarms
  • agents/tactical-queen/
    - Execution coordination swarms
  • agents/adaptive-queen/
    - Real-time optimization swarms
  • agents/swarm-coordinator/
    - Topology management
